LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

Characters: On the front cover the band featured are all looking at the camera apart from 2, this gives an
informal effect as 2 of them are not looking at the reader when the rest are, almost seeming unprofessional,
however the aesthetic of the NME magazine is not to be glammed up and formal but to be toned down and
casual.

COVER
The masthead on all
three magazines is
always at the top of the
page, where it is clear
and visible.
The splash image is
always cut out and
placed over the
masthead so sometimes
parts of the masthead
cannot be seen.
Magazines can often be set out into thirds, where you have the left third, the central third and
the right third. When there is a larger band with a front man, he is often featured in the centre
third with the members equally spaced out in the other thirds. However on the Kerrang!
cover, it features a two-piece so they are both in the centre third.
The left third is often the most busiest. This is because firstly, we read from left to right, so
this will be viewed first and grab most of the readers attention. However, also when the
magazines are shelved, you usually see more of the left side of the magazine due to the way
they are shelved.
The masthead is usually a very contrasting
colour with what is behind it, as on these
magazines there is a dark or bright
background with the masthead in white. This
makes it stand out as there is such a large
contrast in colour.
The barcode is in the same place on each of the magazines and also features the date and
price in the lower right corner.
The colour schemes for these magazines are
also very similar, this may be due to the
similarity in music genre which features
rock, punk, indie, alternative and metal.

convention on
contents pages is
images. This can help
break down text and
also fill blank spaces.On these specific
contents pages the
colour red is used
throughout to make
images and text stand
out against the other
colours.Big stories in the magazine are often highlighted and made more prominent than others.
These are usually what are featured on the cover and what draw attention to the audience in
the first place, so they make them easier to locate than the smaller stories.
Images on the page usually are accompanied with page numbers, making the photo actually
relevant to the magazine which will influence readers to actually want to buy the magazine,
rather than filling it with irrelevant images.
Subheadings with tag lines are a convention of a contents page, as it can give an insight to
the article. Often is an inside joke within a fan base or something catchy which will draw
attention to the specific article.
Page numbers are also relevant as they tell you the direct page you are looking for, also the
whole point of the contents page is to be able to find what you are looking for within the
25. CONVENTIONS OF THE MAGAZINES –
DOUBLE PAGE SPREAD
Double page spreads often have a colour scheme which is relevant to the genre of artist the
spread is about. The BMTH double page spread features dark colours which can relate to their
genre of music; the ‘Tonight Alive” spread colour scheme also fits with their clothing choice
and is also fairly toned down (despite the yellow) and also matches the top strip which was on
the cover of the magazine. The Mac DeMarco spread is very toned down and cool toned
colours. The grey and blue matches the colours of the photos (more specifically the middle
photo with the sea) and pairs well with the colours he is wearing.Drop caps are only used in one of these spreads, thus although it being a convention of a
magazine, it isn't crucial.
The body of the text is always structured in columns, and they are also always the same width
with the rest to make it look uniformed and also makes it easy to read.
Photos are used to break up large amounts of text, and often the text is shaped around the
image.
